Reply #2: Once Nancy Reagan jumped on the stem cell bandwagon [View All]

...the "hearts and minds" fight was all but lost. What is interesting is how stunningly tone deaf the GOP is on issues. They feel that they can pull the string, and their little puppet voters will always jump. It didn't work with the Schiavo business, either.

I hope they continue to be totally tone deaf to their constituency. It was the problem of the Democrats many years ago, when a small faction of the party was permitted far too much power in setting the total party agenda, and the moderate voices were totally crushed.

Reagan Democrats will look like a small cadre compared to Kerry or Dean (or insert your favorite Democratic party leader here) Republicans if they keep this shit up. Good. Let the pendulum swing.
